Goddlefrood:

As long ago as October 2005 I put together a little piece on Snape 
and the DADA position. I believe he never wanted it and still hold 
that view. He certainly did not apply every year, and my reasoning is 
in the referred post below. Here is a link to that post, from which 
anyone interested could follow the discussion. No-one really managed 
to counter my original view, but then that's the joy of the list, I 
await a dressing down.
